- Description:
- The holistic approach to admissions includes an evaluation of traditional measures (e.g., cumulative grade-point average), attributes unique to the applicant (e.g., leadership), and variables important to the field (e.g., interpersonal skills). Outlined in this clinical focus article is an innovative approach to holistic admissions that includes evaluation of a video-recorded response to a case-based prompt and a live interview that includes application of knowledge, demonstration of critical thinking skills, and assessment of personal attributes. https://doi.org/10.1044/2020_PERSP-20-00113

- Description:
- The research suggests that seating arrangements in the classroom shape students’ learning experiences. However, the emphasis in most classrooms seems to be placed in behavior management rather than actual learning. This study investigated how classroom seating arrangements shape middle school students’ experiences in the classroom and focused on two questions: (1) How do students perceive the ways that seating arrangements shape their learning experiences in my classroom?; (2) In what way does in-class behavior suggest that seating influences student learning? Through the use of a student survey, student focus groups, and classroom observations, I found that students believe they learn best when seating arrangements provide peer support and access to resources, and that students believe they do their best learning when they are seated in table groups or working independently. The implications of this study include that the nature of the task should dictate the student seating arrangement.

3. Utilization of Oral Health Services among Hispanics in California: A Systematic Literature Review
- Creator:
- Phan, Richard
- Description:
- According to the Surgeon General of the United States, many Americans do not understand the importance of good dental hygiene, causing an overwhelming amount of disparities in oral health, especially in Hispanics. In general, Hispanics have the poorest dental hygiene care when compared to other racial and ethnic groups in the United States. Currently, there are little or no published research specifically on Hispanics living in California and their utilization of oral health services. The aim of this study is to conduct a systematic review of existing literature based on in-depth analysis of peer-reviewed published articles with a goal to review utilization of oral health care services by Hispanics living in California. The study reviewed how levels of educational attainment, levels of acculturation, levels of household incomes, gender, and age are associated with dental health utilization among California Hispanics. The results show that although California Hispanics require oral health services, limited resources such as finances, proper knowledge, and access to care makes this population at higher risk towards preventative oral care.

- Description:
- The passion that many sports fans have for their favorite teams can be beneficial to sports teams (by increasing ticket sales and sales of licensed merchandise; Bristow and Sebastian, 2001; Fisher and Wakefield, 1998), media companies (by increasing ratings) and sponsoring companies (by creating favorable attitudes and purchase intentions; Bee and Dalakas, 2014; Madrigal, 2000). In addition, there are several positive outcomes for the fans’ well-being like self-esteem, social well-being, experiencing positive emotions, and lower likelihood to feel lonely (Branscombe and Wann, 1991; Wann, 1994; Wann, 2006). However, such passion may also have a dark side that research should consider (Madrigal and Dalakas, 2008). Specifically, sports fans often exhibit aggressive behaviors, verbal and/or physical, especially in targeting rivals. This study examines a different angle of morally questionable behavior by fans regarding perceptions and behaviors that dehumanize rivals, namely propensity to help people in need. Therefore, it provides an interesting insight into fan psychology and behavior and sports rivalries.

- Description:
- Cart Mart Inc. would like a comprehensive assessment of its existing logistics strategy to help decide what influences the operation. It would like to know whether consolidation would benefit expansion goals. In this manner, the company wants to explore better alternatives to the way it currently conducts business. Ideally, it would like to focus on improvements that help the company maximize efficiencies in operations and logistics. This includes the right size, function, and type of each facility, as well as, the prime locations to relocate to best accommodate their customers efficiently. Opportunity The motivation of Cart Mart is to take advantage of the growing low speed vehicle industry. This involves capitalizing on the underdeveloped areas surrounding its current business locations to increase market share. Cart Mart currently operates primarily in the Southern California region. The sales, distribution, and service of low speed vehicles also offers considerable opportunities in neighboring states. For Cart Mart, there are two main opportunities. One is to expand in its current Southern California area and reposition its super-hub to improve logistic efficiencies while consolidating functions to reduce redundancies. In the same manner, additional growth opportunities involve expansions into regions that incorporate the Las Vegas, NV and Phoenix, AZ metropolitan areas. This analysis will help to determine if a planned pre-staged central location for a distribution center will improve logistical efficiencies for future expansions.

9. Yo lo he mirado, yo lo he vivido: The Sexual and Reproductive Health of Three Generations of Latinas
- Creator:
- Avila, Daisy
- Description:
- This study focuses on the lived sexual and reproductive health experiences of four families, each with three generations of Latinas living in the Eastern Coachella Valley. Existing literature has portrayed Latinx communities through a deficit lens, where their culture, language and healing practices are coded as barriers. Chicana Feminist Epistemology (CFE) was foundational in placing the testimonios and platicas of Latina daughters, mother and granddaughters at the forefront of knowledge production and publication. A Public Health Critical Race (PHCR) praxis was the lens through which I contextualized the everyday health realities of Latinas navigating medicalized systems within the United States. Through twelve semi-structured interviews, one of which is my own, we communicate the ways in which our upbringings influence the women we are today. Findings of this study highlight the current obstacles we navigate in medical and educational institutions situated within a rural region, the intergenerational wisdom and remedios that shape our cultural capital and healthcare advocacy, and the narratives of resilience that we share amongst generations of mujeres.

- Description:
- Currently, most studies of incivility involve surveys and controlled laboratory experiments that focus on examining the associations between incivility and other variables. This method of investigation is important, but insufficient for developing a comprehensive understanding of such a complex and multifaceted construct. The present study explores employees’ perceptions of rude workplace behavior from the perspective of real employees in managerial roles. It investigates the extent to which incivility is a prevalent issue faced by employees at work, examines the perceived impact of incivility on relational and productivity-related outcomes, and, finally, considers the potential differences between face-to-face rudeness and electronic rudeness. A qualitative interview approach is used to explore and analyze employees’ perceptions and investigate what employees think, feel, and say about their experiences with incivility at work. This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Is Rudeness Really That Common? An Exploratory Study of Incivility at Work on 24 August 2016, available online: https://doi.org/10.1080/10919392.2016.1228362 .
